Property Snakes and Ladders

[quote=BringbacktheP&P]Anyone eles watching.......and really hoping that the first example of a 'developer' loses all her money?
[/quote]
Her money? This is the girl that has convinced her mother to sell the family home, move into rented property and give her the money to fund her dreams of property development?
What is wrong with people? Do they have no conscience?

Did either of those families live on this planet? or keep up to date with the news?
The 'son' was easy on the eye though.
The mother wasn't though (mother of the 21yr old). The horror The 'son' was easy on the eye though.

Beaney boobies are awesome by the way, they're definitely appreciating, despite the current climate.
are people really that nieve? (and yes i think ive spelt that wrong)
did they really exect to get that much money?
why would you sell your house so your 21 year old daughter could do up a bungalow?
could they not see we hadnt had a property recesion for a long time, and it was inevitable that it would happen? my parents got told by economists/experts that there was a recesion coming, and they were bang on, right down to the month

At the start, I really wanted to gloat over these people. Seeing people, who thought they were going to make a killing on property renovation, get their fingers burned. At the end it was just a bit sad. (and OMG at that girl's mother...)
Sarah Beeney is usually very good at telling people what to do and what not to do, and stopping them from spending money needlessly. But she kept pushing them to higher and higher end development at a time when it was rapidly becoming obvious that the money had stopped flowing. I have to say that, after so many kids, the Beenybaps must have some impressive support mechanism. Not so much funbags as industrial sandbags.

'tis a pity that they can't go back to all the show participants over the years to see how they're doing now.
Some were good with wise heads, however the majority just benefitted from a surging market rather than actually being any good at property development. They think all their *work*, such that it is, is what made them money, the truth will be hitting home right now.

Isnt buying low and selling high all part of the property development game. Sarah herself has probably made loads soley off the back of the "surging market". She has even on occasion suggested that developers simply sit it out and do nothing to the property - cashing in on the rising market.Some were good with wise heads, however the majority just benefitted from a surging market rather than actually being any good at property development.

Also - dont read too much into the development costs quoted on the show - they can be a long way from reality.
